Intel to detail tri-gate advances at IEDM

SAN FRANCISCO--A wild technical world of self-healing memories,
brain-like electronic systems, spintronics advances,
logic-on-plastic, and bio-integrated electronics unfolds next week
when the leading lights of semiconductor research parachute in here
for the annual International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM).

The 58th annual IEDM includes a strong overall emphasis on
circuit-device interaction, energy harvesting and power devices, and
biomedical devices, spiced with intriguing keynotes from Samsung
(state of the art in displays), IMEC (ultimate device technologies)
and the University of Illinois (bio-integrated electronics).
Luncheon speakers include GlobalFoundries CEO Ajit Manocha ("Is the
fabless model dead?") and Marvell co-founder Weili Dai.

In addition,
descriptions of tri-gate advances from Intel and 22-nm
silicon-on-insulator technology from IBM, as well as germanium
integrated directly on silicon in FinFETs (TSMC) are on the agenda.

Neuromorphic--or brain-like--electronic systems that mimic cognitive
functions are the focus of research because of their potential for
complex tasks such as pattern-recognition. A technical
presentation by a team from Korea’s Gwangju Institute of Science
and Technology will detail a high-speed pattern-recognition system
comprising CMOS “neurons” and an array of resistive-RAM (RRAM)-based
“synapses,” which demonstrated something called
spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP). STDP is an electronic
analog of a brain mechanism for learning and memory, so an
electronic system that accurately performs STDP can be said to be
“learning.” The 1-Kb RRAM array has a simple crosspoint structure
and possibly can be scaled to 4F, the theoretical minimum size
for a crosspoint array.

actually does the "celeron" count in mobile sang-chou-1 ?
if so you will be finally seeing Celeron Ivy Bridge CPU's at the same time they release Haswell in the first half of 2013.
regarding that " tiny beams could trap and manipulate particles as small as a few atoms." rather than just light i always thought we don't use sound enough in electronics and heres just such a rather cool fully working project
using Ultra Tangibles
Creating movable tangible objects on interactive tables ultrasound is focussed into a beam, creating enough force to move lightweight objects across a surface.
mesmerizing video fukk of potential :)

scale this down to the micro/nano scale and it could be a very usable commercial product to manipulate particles and perhaps even perform some assembly, what you think , would nano scale ultrasound destroy the graphene nanowires etc http://www.graphene-info.com/electron-conductivity-studies-graphene-nanowires at the quantum mechanical process level
along side some Twisted beams of light could increase the capacity of optical communications.

Intel's Finfet is best thing for foundry.
Intel keeps talking finFET but is not shipping 22nm FinFET products in mobile (feature-smart-phone or tablets) now or even next year.
After 2 years just 1 design is shipping(ivy bridge).
Achronix 22nm FPGA delayed until 2013
Haswell delayed to 2nd-half 2013
14nm delayed 1 year to 2nd-half 2014

what , still no nano photonics devices in the pipeline, thats a shame,
if only someone made some Plasmonic Optical Tweezers Could Trap Tiny Proteins
An innovative aperture design based on plasmonics could focus light so effectively that tiny beams could trap and manipulate particles as small as a few atoms.
or we had a fiber optic spanner to adjust new Metamaterials and so Manipulate Light on a Microchip.
we probably need lots of sellotape ‘Smart’ Claw's
and OC the usual micron-scale spatial light modulator (SLM) that works in 3-D “free space” and runs orders of magnitude faster than those used in sensing and imaging devices today..
blah blah blah :)
did everyone at IEDM also forget Continuous gas-phase synthesis of nanowires with tunable properties
